Rim delivers the goods

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2013)

It has been a long time since I saw a movie in a theater that actually exceeded my expectations, but Pacific Rim really did.
Everything fits in this movie: the storytelling, character build - up and - oh man - the special effects. It's not easy to make a fight between a robot and a gigantic monster seem real and thrilling, but Guillermo does it. I was on the edge of my seat, heart throbbing during some of the battles.
It's not just blunt action, hopping from one scene to another without a decent story behind it to back it up. This is something we see too often lately, but Pacific Rim makes a beautiful exception.
Keep up the good work Guillermo, I hope this one gets a follow - up as it deserves. Can't wait to see that one.
